Kejriwal said that he had used “thulla” word against those policemen who “harass” poor people for money, adding that strict action needs to be taken against such personnel.

The Delhi CM had used “thulla” (slang for a cop) word during an interview. Angry over the remark, several policemen had registered complaints against Kejriwal for alleged defamation.

“I meant to say that policemen harass street vendors and poor people who supported us a lot and with their support, we won 67 seats. When people come to me and say cops harass them for money, it pains me. Action has to be taken against these police personnel. I used that word (thulla) against such policemen.
